Help with Afatech DVB-T HDTV Dongle

Added by balanga bar almost 7 years ago

I'm trying to setup TVheadend under Ubuntu and am having a problem using my DVB-T dongle. It's an Afatech DVB-T HDTV Dongle and I have it working on FreeBSD. I'm only trying to setup TVheadend on Ubuntu to compare performance with FreeBSD which might not be working as it should. I've followed various guides showing how to install the drivers...

lsusb:-

dmesg errors:-

[ 18.966865] dvb_usb_af9035: probe of 1-1.2:1.0 failed with error -75
[ 18.966880] usbcore: registered new interface driver dvb_usb_af9035

I believe I have the correct drivers instlalled

/lib/firmware# ls al dvb-usb-it*
-rw-r--r- 1 root root 8128 Dec 1 2016 dvb-usb-it9135-01.fw
rw-rw-r- 1 me me 5834 Dec 16 22:30 dvb-usb-it9135-02.fw

When running w_scan I get:-

main:4007: FATAL: * NO USEABLE TERRESTRIAL CARD FOUND. *
Please check wether dvb driver is loaded and

Any ideas what I've overlooked?

I did manage to use this dongle on a Raspberry Pi using LibrELEC, but I have been unable to install TVHeadend on the RPi because every place I try I get 'Unable to locate package' when running 'sudo apt-get install tvheadend.

Where should I try?

In libreElec just install it as addon in Kodi

I (eventually) installed TVheadend on my Raspberry Pi which is running Raspbian (Debian Stretch) and it picked up my DVB-T dongle automatically without me needing to do anything.
